Hi guys, Been on here a lil while now so i figured i'd start up a log. I'll show you what it was standard and the minimal progress so far :D

Image
Image

Didn't get a picture before i de-badged but...
Image
Image

Then i got a monster hole in my exhaust so got a new one - thinking about gettin a 3" stainless backbox for it though.
Image

Then i bought a mesh badgeless grille...
Image

And then bought some tinting spray for my rear lights and they turned out like this...
Image
Image

And here she is after a good clean and polish in the sunset...
Image

What do you lot think?
I'm gonna be lowering it 40mm all over on GMAXX shocks and springs that i'm buying from corsaboi1992
I want to referb the standard wheels and get them sprayed black
Black Angel Eyes
Slatted Badgeless Grille to replace the mesh one
Window Tint
Maybe get a new backbox
Maybe a Badboy Bonnet
Dark Smoked Side Repeaters
Colour Code Boot Lock
Then if i have the car long enough i will get a complete respray in the current VXR Blue and get a Black and Blue checkerboard roof and then maybe i will make performance changes such as:
Pipercross Induction Kit with Cold Air Intake
x16xe Inlet Manifold
Re-map

Can't think of anything else i want to do to it atm, but i will keep everyone posted as it progresses - no matter how slow that may be.
Cheers for looking guys ;)

Oh and just so you know i didn't put those dodgey stripes on the roof - The previous owner damaged the roof and has done a proper bodge job of repairing it.

Small update - Fitted my smoked side repeaters this morning

I've bought some GM mudflaps for front and back but i don't know how to fit them.
Do i have to drill the holes in the bodywork myself?

Okay bit of a small update. Not a lot of work has happened since i last posted which was quite some time ago but I have a new Grille (again) with an irmscher badge, wind deflectors, and it has been lowered at the rear 40mm. Still waiting to lower the front end the same amount. Image

Image

There is more progress to come however, I am looking at smoked depo lights if i can find them, or possibly just tinting the originals. If not it will be angel eyes :) I should also be ordering my new alloys this weekend, unfortunately not vauxhall, i've been looking at TSW Ice Black's.

It does but not my choice. the roof appears to be damaged and the previous owner kinda bodged it. But im gonna re-do it, filler, sand it down and do the whole roof black ;)

Just paid for my new alloys. Didn't get the TSW's.. Went for some Kei Racing Fuji's instead. 15" 195/45. Should look alright once me and my dad have finished lowering my car.
